Often when a person goes on a rant about how "company X is using Nazi imagry" you find out that the person is just terminally online and is getting worked up over something completely innocent.

This is not one of those times...

Yeah, when I heard that Binance was a Chinese company my initial assumption was that it must be one of those things where an eastern cultural use of the symbol just didn't translate. But yeah, boy that's a body of work you can't really misinterpret.

The main thing I don't like (other than this reminding me of the beginnings of a dystopian hellscape) is that it...does not seem gender-neutral, which makes it way creepier in my eyes.

It’s not gender-neutral at all, and you could go as far as it’s intentionally body-shaming.

I wonder if that "actually" happened. Or if it was just like one bench for like an hour and the only person who sat on it was a paid model for the ad.

Maybe the story is the real viral marketing :tinfoil:

The benches have been back for a while, just replaced with ones with arm rests to keep you from lying on them.

Here's some cosmetics stuff:

Some folks are convinced the applicator looks like a penis or erect nipple. :wiggle: Even if that wasn't the case, the packaging has a lot of excessive plastic, which the beauty community has tried to move away from over the years.

If you didn't know, Jeffree Star has had many accusations/documented evidence of racism, particularly towards Black folks. I'd say that makes this ad campaign a giant :yikes:

Thought I had lost my mind when I saw a temptalia post here!

While the beauty industry has hilariously antiquated notions about sex (and some less hilarious and more horrifying) the Bite blushes are fine. far too much plastic but fine.

The J* garbage? All that needs to be said was said. He is a blight. He could make my HGs and I’d still call him a horrific little wart.
